Carolina Panthers
Located in uptown Charlotte, Bank of America
Stadium (formerly Ericsson Stadium) has been specifically designed for
football by HOK Sports Facilities Group of Kansas City, MO. This 73,367
seat, privately financed, open-air, natural-grass stadium includes
training facilities, practice fields and administrative offices and
serves as the headquarters for the Carolina Panthers.
The stadium facade contains many unique elements, including massive
archways and domed towers at the entries, clad in building materials
that accent the Panthers black, blue and silver team colors. Perhaps the
most interesting feature of the stadium is that it doesn't look
like one. With its three entrances, guarded by six giant bronze
panthers, the stadium appears more to be a fortress rather than sports
venue.
Bank of America Stadium features a striking black obsidian granite
façade and a silver and blue seating bowl. Sculpted by Todd Andrews, a
pair of black panthers, each measuring eight-feet tall, weighing more
than 2,000 pounds, perched on ten-foot pedestals and named Indomitable
Spirit, guard both sides of each of the three 80-foot arched entrances.
The 48-foot diameter light domes atop the entry towers are lit every
night and are visible for miles around.
The interior has been designed with a generous ratio of concession and
restroom facilities within wide and tall concourses, in addition to
individual cup and program holders, wide seats and state of the art
sound, video and scoreboard systems. The stadium playing field is a
natural grass surface. Adjacent to the stadium are three practice
fields, two natural grass and one artificial turf.
